Portal Sizing and Roadmap

Hi,
I need some suggestions in portal sizing since I am new to this field. We have a external-facing portal with an user base of around 2000. Concurrent users would be 100. Portal is integrated with ECC, BW and BOBJ (around 9 reports).
I have read about Quick Sizer tool. For 100 concurrent users, what should I use: user sizing or throughput sizing? Is it recommended to follow the results from this tool? What if the user base increases in future? Is there any other approach to work on portal sizing?
Also, what are the things I need to take into considerations for the future road-map (Scalability, maintenance, etc) ?
Thanks,
Sham

Hi Sushil,
Thanks for sharing the link. But it doesn't help much.
I tried using quick sizer tool and found the total SAPS as 2000 (DB SAPS: 500, App SAPS: 1500). Where do I find the relevant hardware for 2000 SAPS? I checked in SAP Benchmark results (Two-Tier Internet Configuration). Am I looking at the right place?
We were thinking of going for 2 core / 8 GB RAM.

Portal sizing and UME Data Source

Hi Expert,
Please suggest the sizing approach towards the Netweaver Portal which will be used by about 50 to 60 lacs of customers on internet. New users will be allowed to self-register themselves on the portal. Also what are the recommendations on the UME data source while implementing the portal.
Thank you.

Hi,
As you have already mentioned that no. of users is going to be large (some 500k-600k) it is important to undestand that these are the total number of users. You will have to do following to determine concurrent users:
1. You will have to determine concurrent user phase i.e. peak load phase or time with max. no. of users you can imagine will work with Portal in 1 hours time. Reason to follow this method is large no. of users
2. Categorize your total users in to Low, Medium & High profiles. That means, you should categorize say 500k users in to these three categories. Low category users are those who access portal occasinally. To clarify it even further, users performing not more than 400 screen changes are to be put into this category.
SAP has already mentioned the benchmark figures for these categories:
Low: Users performing 400 dialog steps/week
Medium: Users performing 4800 dialog step/week
High: Users performing 14400 dialog step/week
With this, you will have better clarity of how to determine concurrent users. You can use Activty Reports or ADC Service to initially determine the user trend. You can also make use of Wily Introscope to identify no. of logon requests made. Advantage of using Wily is you can see the data sliced into different time interval like last minute, 10 min, last hour and so on. This shall give you better picture of how many users are making logon within 1 hour.
Also as your user base is large, I don't think SAP recommends to use UME for 500K-600K users. It should be LDAP as far as I can think of. However, do get a second opinion about usage of the DB.

SSO between Portal Application and Portal Admin Tool

Hi All,
We have a requirement for implementing SSO between a Portal application and
Portal admin tool.
We are using WL Portal 8.1 SP4.
Here is the reason for this requirement -
A user logged-into Portal Application needs to login to Portal Admin tool to
do some admin activity. We want to provide a link in the portal application
using which the user can directly login to the Portal Admin tool without
having to enter the credentials again.
If someone has any info on how to implement this, can you please point me in
the right direction.
Thanks,

Hi,
When creating PP you have 2 options
PP used for compiling and PP used for Building
You create PP with all the libraries into Developing/Compiling Other DCs
And another PP with all the libraries into can be packaged into other build results (SDAs).
Once you have these 2 PP in place you add the DC as used DC.
And this should resolve the issue.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-

Print Sizing and Quality Issues

When I print PDF documents I have issues with sizing and quality. I only have this issue with my Mac. Windows prints the files as they should be. I've tried two different printers, both over network. It doesn't matter whether I am in Adobe or in a browser. Basically it oversizes the documents and cuts off the edges. The quality on images and logos is severly degraded. This probelm existed in Lion and now in Mountain Lion. Any help?

What we need are the clip properties & sequence settings in Final Cut Express. Your screenshot is from a Finder window.
It would appear you have a clip with nonstandard frame size (1366x768) in an H.264 file. FCE cannot edit this material. FCE is limited to specific codecs and frame sizes. You need to convert your clip to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec. If it's highdef widescreen then convert it to QT/AIC 1920x1080i. Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the source clip.
You also need to be using a matching Easy Setup in Final Cut Express. If your source media file is QT/AIC 1920x1080i then you should select the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60 Easy Setup in FCE -AND- then create a new sequence before importing your clip into FCE and placing it in your sequence (timeline)

Re-sizing and Pasting in Elements 12

I've just got Elements 12 and I'm having difficulty getting started.
The first thing I need to do, is to re-size a load of images - I need them to be a specific size in centimetres. I don't care how many pixels they are, or how big the file is.
However, whenever i try re-sizing, and then open the image in something else, it hasn't really changed size - it's just set to print at that size in elements. As I'm not printing them, I'm sending them digitally elsewhere to be printed, that's no good to me- is there any way to actually change the size.
Once I've got the images resized, I then want to paste them onto a slightly larger black background. However, I don't seem to be able to paste between files. Is this normal?
To sum up:
I have a load of jpegs and pngs of various sizes, I want to get them all to 6.12 x 8.6 cm, then paste them into a black background 6.4 x 9 cm (providing a thin border against the edges being cropped int he printing process) and save as jpegs. These jpegs will then be uploaded to a printing company via the internet.
I'd hoped this would be a fairly simple process, but it seems to be impossible. Can anyone help?

For printing, it desirable to have the resolution in the range 240-300px/in.
You can convert the ruler scale to metric by right clicking on the ruler. This will help you to visualize the dimensions for reference.
On the crop tool's option bar, enter 6.12cm and 8.6cm for w & h (depending on portrait/landscape orientation.) Enter resolution 240px/in in the resolution field.
Drag out the crop shield to embrace what you wish to retain, then commit with the green checkmark.
Set your foreground color chip to black
Go to Select menu>all
Open a blank layer above the background layer
Goto Edit menu>Stroke(outline) selection. Try stroke width 5px, position:inside. OK
Press CTRL+D to get rid of the marching ants.
You can adjust the black border (stroke width) to suit - simply delete the layer created in step #5, and replace it.

How to add 1 more column in standard portal UWL and map the values.

Hi
I have one issue/requirement, please help me out on that also.
In portal UWL, i want to add one more column TICKET ID COLUMN, and ticket id value I will be putting as work item ID of abap Workflow, so whenever approver opens his portal UWL, in first column i want to show ticket ID say 00012345, so how to add this ticket ID column in standard portal UWL and how to put/map value of work item in that column.
My idea behind this is, when ever say employee wants to know the status about his ticket ID, he can simply ask his manager regarding the ticket status by referring to that ticket ID which manager can easily find in his portal UWL in that extra TICKET ID COLUMN .
Do I have to change anything in SAP inbox also ? Do i have to add 1 more colum in sap R/3 inbox also ? and will adding 1 more colum in sap inbox (R/3 inbox), will create automatically one more ticket ID colum in portal UWL also ?
please let me know , as i do not want to add 1 extra column in R/3 inbox, just i want in portal UWL extra ticket ID column should come and i want to put workitem ID generated at the start of workflow, in that colum in portal UWL
please help me on this.
Thanks...

Hi Satyam,
These are called custom attributes. Here is a powerpoint that may be able to assist you with the documentation that the other poster gave you too.
Always remember too when you make a change on the backend R/3 side, you must reregister your UWL connector. And yes, the column must be available on the backend R/3 side. We can't create on the fly columns in the UWL, that have no reference to the backend system in this case.

Best Practice for Portal Patches and effort estimation

Hi ,
One of our client is applying the following patches
1. ECC 6.0 SP15(currently SP14)
2. ESS MSS SP15(currently SP14 with some level of functional customization )
3. EP 7 SP18(currently SP14)
We would like to kwow the best practice for applying portal patches and the effort estimation for redoing the portal devt on the new patch.
o   What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
o   How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
     manually re-entered?
o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
    Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
Regards,
Revathi Raju.

Hi Revathi,
o What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
overall effort to apply the patch is apprx 1/2-1 days for NW7 system. This is exclude the patch files download because it's based on your download speed.
o How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
manually re-entered?
Depending on your customization. Normally it wont effect if you created the customzation application apart from SAP standard application
o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
Any change that related to NWDI, you might be need to re-deployed from NWDI itself.
Thanks

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
Thank's in advance again,
André

Difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.

Hi Experts,
What is the difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.
Thanks,
Jay.

Hi,
The PDK provides two methods for creating a portal component:
Abstract Portal Component
The Abstract Portal Component class offers a lean method for writing HTML commands to the Web client as well as for basic event handling. It is an implementation of the IPortalComponent, which is the central abstraction of the Portal Component API.
DynPage
The Page Processor Component, which extends the Abstract Portal Component, returns a DynPage. It provides more sophisticated event handling. Controls that produce events (such as buttons and checkboxes) have an event attribute that contains the name of the event handling method. This event handling method is invoked by the DynPage when it occurs.
The JSPDynPage is an implementation of the DynPage and allows the use of the DynPage in combination with JSP (Java Server Pages).
The PDK documentation and examples focus on the DynPage. Easier event handling and the separatation of content development (JSP) from application development (Java) make the DynPage a better choice for components with interaction and changing content.
For more details, Refer thes thread,
https://fortress.wa.gov/dop/portal/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.pdk.basic.portalcomponentimplementation/docs/jspdynpage.html

How to create portal user and integrate with external appl login

How to create portal user and integrate the user with external application for single sign-on ?
I want to access my external application thru portal user ..?
Shyam

Hi Jithin,
The link that you've shared talks about a different scenario.
In my case, I want to pass the portal user id when the user clicks on the Help Link present in the header area.
I am trying to pass it along with the Help Link Url property of a masthead iview but it is not getting passed to the target Url.
I would like to know if it is possible to pass the Portal User Id in this way or not.
Though if we create a appintegrator iview and pass the user id <User.UserID> along with the target Url, it reaches there.
Thanks & Regards,

Oracle portal session and pl/sql

Hi all i use portal v.10.1.2.2.0 and i would like to play with a session variable. all i do is
grant execute on wwsto_api_session to myportal from portal schema. and then i want to do
l_store := portal.wwsto_api_session.load_session (p_domain, p_sub_domain);
l_store.set_attribute ('myname', 'name');
l_store.save_session;
1) i do not know what is the p_domain, p_sub_domain
2) when i do wwsto_api_session.get_sub_domain and wwsto_api_session.get_domain i get an error.
How can i read and write to a variable session in oracle portal? to to like java set session and get session?
Thank you in Advance,

How can i read and write to a variable session in oracle portal? to to like java set session and get session?Hi,
You may want to see the wwsto_api_session here in [Portal APIs|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc1012/index.html].
"Working with the session object
The general procedure for working with the session object is:
1. Load the session object, with an appropriate domain and sub-domain combination, using the load_session method.
2. Manipulate the content of the object using the set_attribute methods, or just access its content using the get_attribute methods.
3. Force these changes to be saved, using the save_session method.
Typically this sequence occurs within the scope of one client routine that extracts and/or sets all of the client states. For example:
declare
l_store portal30.wwsto_api_session;
l_date date;
begin
l_store := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session ('PORTAL', 'TEST');
l_store.set_attribute ('LAST_ACCESSED', sysdate);
l_store.set_attribute ('USERNAME', 'SMITH');
l_store.set_attribute ('COUNRTY_CODE', 1);
l_store.set_attribute ('LOCATION', 'US');
l_store.set_attribute ('LAST_LOGGED_ON', sysdate);
l_store.set_attribute_as_string
('OFFICE_LOCATION', 'CALIFORNIA', 'US', 'STRING');
l_store.save_session;
end;
The login session that creates the session storage object is defined by wwctx_api.get_sessionid. "
ref: wwsto_api_session for Portal 10.1.2
then, look for the functions for getting attributes as number, varchar2, string or index, etc. in the above link.
hope that helps!

Jdeveloper with VPD / FGAC possible ? i.e. oracle portal tables and views

I am trying to create some view objects based on oracle portals views and tables. However I always get the following error.
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1407
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1216
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1469
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_API", line 152
This is because I have not set the context using plsql. i.e
portal.wwctx_api_private.set_context(p_user_name => 'PORTAL',p_update_flat => true);
Is there a way of using portal views in jdevloper and setting the context first. I am thinking the portal database uses vpd, fine grained access control.
Regards
Orlando

Hi,
using ADF BC you can override the prepare session method on the AM to set the context.
public void prepareSession(Session _session)
super.prepareSession(_session);
// some PLSQL like
String appContext = "Begin ctxhrpckg.set_userinfo('"+getApplicationUserName()+"'); END;";
java.sql.CallableStatement st= null;
try
st = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement(appContext,0);
st.execute();
} catch (java.sql.SQLException s)
throw new oracle.jbo.JboException(s);
} finally
try
if (st!= null)
st.close();
} catch (java.sql.SQLException s2){}
